Key Points:
- At least 30 members of Congress will skip President Trump's State of the Union address to attend a livestreamed counter-event called the "People’s State of the Union" on February 24.
- The event, hosted by MeidasTouch, MoveOn Civic Action, and other groups, starts at 8 p.m. ET, one hour before Trump's speech, and will feature several hours of programming.
- Speakers include members of Congress, Jeffrey Epstein abuse survivors, families affected by immigration enforcement, fired public health workers, and Americans facing rising living costs.
- The counter-event aims to shift focus away from Trump's address, highlighting grassroots voices and issues impacting everyday Americans, as expressed by Rev. Paul Brandeis Raushenbush of Interfaith
